Have you talked to your boyfriend about your concerns? I would suggest that as a place to start. I suggest that when you bring it up you tell him that it has been bothering you and that it is effecting your feelings about the relationship. Hopefully he will be understanding and work to change his treatment of you.
If you have done so and he refuses to change then this is probably a bad sign for the relationship. As much as you love him, you will only be able to stand his behavior for so long and I think you may be nearing that point if you are reaching out like this.
All that aside it is important that you talk to your boyfriend. You two should establish a way of bringing these things up openly and honestly so that you both feel understood in this relationship. Who know he may dislike something you do as well, the only way you will know is if you talk with him. After all a good relationship will always be built on open communication.
With Love,
Princess_Rae
